Relocating is not just a physical move. It is a carousel of change.

As a coach and intercultural trainer, I help expats, international professionals and companies navigate these changes in a clear, structured and successful way.

Curious to learn more?

Let’s take a look at your situation together.

Living an international life or working across cultures brings its own set of challenges: new structures, changing roles and high expectations. What may appear to be an exciting new beginning from the outside often feels complex and demanding.

Not every change begins with a move – but every change moves us.

WHO I’M HERE FOR

Change doesn’t just affect expats. Career changes, new roles or personal challenges also raise similar questions:

Where do I stand? What’s my next step?

Let me help you find clear answers to these questions.

MY EXPERIENCES

"A decade of moving taught me what really counts”

More than 20 years of international professional and life experience, ten moves of my own, and living and working in several countries and cultures, continue to shape my perspective to this day. I bring this knowledge deliberately into my work.

Customer testimonials

Sandra

German Expat, Marriott International I Returned with her family from UAE back to Germany

"Josien offered an excellent tailored approach for our family throughout all services and we would definitely recommend her as she is absolutely worth your money. She found us a home in Germany, not just a house! Thank you for all you have done for us to make this an easy transition!”

Alexander

American/Spanish Expat, Siemens Healthcare GmbH

“Josien was an exceptional partner in our family’s relocation to the Frankfurt area from the United States. Considering our move during times of COVID-19, Josien helpt us maneuver the challenging times to finally help us find a home and land in Germany uneventfully. She is extremely knowledgeable about the challenges and needs of expat families. Having been an expat herself, she understands first-hand the needs of transitioning executives and their families”

Elke

Deutsche Expat-Partnerin I Rückkehr aus USA und Schweiz

"Für mich war die Arbeit mit Josien gerade im Prozess der Repatriation sehr wertvoll, da Josien selbst über Erfahrungen, im Ausland gelebt zu haben, verfügt. Sie wusste wie es ist, wenn eine Familie beschließt, das Abenteuer als Expat einzugehen und was das für die begleitende, erst einmal nicht arbeitende oder arbeitssuchende Person bedeutet und wie man sich dabei fühlt. Als HR Expertin konnte sie mir neben dem intensiven und einfühlsamen Coaching (Partner Career Support), auch wertvolle Tipps geben.“

Marlie

Dutch spouse in Beijing

“Josien ondersteunt bij uitdagingen in binnen- en buitenland. Ze helpt mensen die door een verhuizing hun carrière een nieuwe wending geven, belangrijke beslissingen moeten nemen of het vertrouwen nodig hebben om nieuwe wegen in te slaan. Als echtgenote en moeder begrijpt ze hoe het is om een nieuw leven op te bouwen in een totaal andere omgeving en cultuur. Haar coaching heeft mij persoonlijk enorm geholpen tijdens mijn tijd in China."

Reagen

Marketing Manager Aryaka Networks, China

"I was fortunate to have Josien as my coach. Her knowledge, experience and her coaching skills not only helped me to map out my goals but enabled me to make it happen to achive tangible positive results. I recommend Josien to all corporate business and individual coaching/consulting."

Caroline

Australian expat in Germany

"Living and working in another country allows you to open your mind and start looking at things from different perspectives. It meant a great personal and professional enrichment for my family and I. Josien made me see this, thanks to her broad experience, pragmatic approach and positive mindset."
